one of the few websites that i actually sit and read rants from is a website by a unique individual who speaks of Homer and relates it to the current political construct across the globe. at the same time, he does so with a comedic tone unlike any other. it’s wonderful. similarly, speaking of manfredd mann and cold stone ice cream in the same paragraph is not easy to do, but the satire behind this young writer makes it wonderful to read. so when he left a note around here and said that this was one of his favourite blogs, i was much obliged. i wouldn’t think too much of being tagged or linked to, but coming from him it’s quite fun to note that i’ve been given the brilliante blog award. brilliante

now the rules of the game are as follows:

  1. the purpose of the prize is to promote as many blogs as possible in the blogosphere (quad erat demonstradum).
  2. when you receive the prize you must write a post showing it, together with the name of who has given it to you, and link them back.
  3. choose a minimum of 7 blogs (or even more) that you find brilliant in their content or design.
  4. show their names and links and leave them a comment informing they were prized with ‘brilliante weblog.’
  5. show a picture of those who awarded you and those you give the prize (optional).
  6. and then we pass it on!

so here goes nothing…

seems like the desi blogosphere is primarily comprised of people just linking to other desi blogs which really defeats the purpose of this exercise. so i suppose i might as well expand a bit further to some other sites that i read but i doubt they really know that i read them.
